Selective Radiation Mitigation For Integrated Circuits
By Siemens EDA - 25 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Shortened lifecycles and cost reduction coupled with the demand for advanced capabilities continue to challenge project teams delivering IC into space systems. To meet these demands, project teams must continue to evolve across all aspects of the lifecycle, including the implementation and verification of mitigation protections against single event effects. This paper defines a methodology t... » read more

Efficacy of Transistor Interleaving in DICE Flip-Flops at a 22 nm FD SOI Technology Node
By Technical Paper Link - 25 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New research paper from University of Saskatchewan, with funding by NSERC and the Cisco University Research Program. Abstract "Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD SOI) technology nodes provide better resistance to single event upsets than comparable bulk technologies, but upsets are still likely to occur at nano-scale feature sizes, and additional hardening techniques should be explor... » read more

FLODAM: Cross-Layer Reliability Analysis Flow for Complex Hardware Designs
By Technical Paper Link - 20 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Modern technologies make hardware designs more and more sensitive to radiation particles and related faults. As a result, analysing the behavior of a system under radiation-induced faults has become an essential part of the system design process. Existing approaches either focus on analysing the radiation impact at the lower hardware design layers, without further propagating any rad... » read more

Far Out AI In Remote Locations
By Susan Rambo - 08 Sep, 2020 - Comments: 0

There really isn’t anything that you can do on Earth with electronics that you can’t do in space, but it certainly can be a lot harder and take longer to fix is something goes wrong. And as more intelligent electronics are launched into space, the concern over potential failures is growing. AI inferencing has been pushing out further for some time, and it is starting to redefine what con... » read more

Mitigating The Effects Of Radiation On Advanced Automotive ICs
By Jacob Wiltgen - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The safety considerations in an automotive IC application have similarities to what is seen in other safety critical industries, such as the avionics, space, and industrial sectors. ISO 26262 is the state-of-the-art safety standard guiding the safety activities and work products required for electronics deployed in an automotive system. ISO 26262 requires that a design be protected from the eff... » read more
